Nick Phillips Erotic Classics on-demand!

We've added a bunch of enticing fare from Media Blasters, including a handful from 70s erotic auteur Nick Phillips, to our rapidly expanding Video-on-Demand catalog [for adult VOD titles, click here].

Phillips, real name Steve Millard, made a host of guilty pleasure, "adults only," features in the 1970s, several of which have since been remade by Seduction Cinema. These bawdy and perverse films are one-of-a-kind, capturing the underground sexuality of a time and place more than just about any other work.

Brigitta is a grindhouse classic that offers a glimpse into the erotic fantasies and carnal conquests of 60’s swingers! And Dr. Christina of Sweden is a rarely seen Phillips oddity about a Niko-esque reporter doing sex, uh, research that "still looks surprisingly good," notes SleazeGrinder.com, "and features a couple of very sexy, curvy 70’s girls. Real ones, even."

Phillips loved his fetishes, too, and Fraulein Leather - with a title like that, do we need to detail the plot for you? - is perfect proof. "a real surprise! It's a hardcore film," gasps DVD Drive-In. "Phillips directs all the action within one shady apartment, behind closed blinds, making the film even more scuzzy than it already is."

The classic Lustful Addiction is "a very gratifying (and sexy) movie," says Sex Gore Mutants, and was remade with Misty Mundae in a fairly interesting version. Nothing like the original, though, to get a good sweat going. Meanwhile, the original Roxanna (it, too, was remade with Mundae), has plenty of odd Phillips' touches, strange effects and trippy atmosphere - surely a product of its time. It's also "powerful" (Sex Gore Mutants). For that nostalgic feel, and some genuinely erotic sex, it's worth a watch, too.

"Director Nick Phillips doesn't feel the need to slow his flicks down with any of the usual filler," wrote Monsters at Play's Lawrence Raffel of Pleasures of a Woman. "[R]uns about an hour and that's about an hour of pure erotic action to you and me. Mostly girl/girl save for one guy/girl scene, it all ain't too shabby. No time is wasted here and let me say that if the shoe fetish bit doesn't catch you by off guard, well it should!"

Also now available on-demand: Sappho '68, Threes: Menage a Trois and Vicious Blondes.
